The gate is waking up
A shadow world — a rotting, nightmarish mirror of our own — is bleeding into reality, and an ancient gate is waking up. Your team has 60 minutes to piece together the truth, navigate the darkness, and seal it shut before the shadows get through.
A high-intensity supernatural mystery where your team must uncover the truth behind a shadow world and shut down an ancient gate before darkness breaks through. Hammersmith's most intense experience, recommended 14+.
